  • Date: The system default is the current date. To backdate the claim, click the drop-down menu to change to the desired date.

  • ICD-10: Click the Add button  and enter the numeric code or description to search under the ICD-10 Desc field. Then, click the Save button  to add the diagnosis code to the claim. Up to twelve diagnosis codes can be placed on a claim.
  • CPT: Enter the numeric CPT code or click the Ellipsis button to search for the code.
  • Diagnosis codes must be assigned to each CPT code line. Use the drop-down menu to select the diagnosis code or add modifiers.

Note:

As you are manually creating claims or converting electronic superbills, you may find that you need to record other claim information that is not found in the Basic Information tab of the Add/Edit Charges window. This is where you will use the Other Items (1-27) tab. The Other Items (1-27) tab in the Add/Edit Charges window is described below. 

The Other Items (1-27) tab can be used to add or edit the following claim information:

  • Type of Insurance coverage (this is defaulted according to the Insurance carrier for the claim and should not need to be edited)
  • Claim relation to employment, auto, or other accident
  • Dates of illness or injury as they pertain to the claim
  • Referring or Ordering Physician(s) and their NPI numbers
  • Referral or Prior Authorization numbers
  • Any other locally reported items as dictated by your state's insurance companies
